You guys need a chat room? LOL. JK...nice updates, Steven!

 

By hand, no way. You gotta be hitting the juice too then.

Your text must have come right as we started and I didn't hear it, but when I saw it, Steven was long gone.

 

^^^ hahahaa

no juice....only protein baby

Steven: yes we did find a great house but some one else put an offer on it before we could

and now the wifey wants to build so we are looking for some new neighborhoods and gonna build....or buy a 2010/2011 house which are just sitting there with tons of upgrades

 

Remember happy wife = happy life.

 

^^^ Very true-if Momma is happy, EVERYBODY is happy!

It only took us an hour to do it, and we went slow (including brake touch-ups). Then we contemplated the Carbon Fiber roof too.....then gone!

 

man....missed out on this....

but yeah i try hard to keep my wifey happy....since she is very easy going its easy for me to please her (ouch :bitelip)

 

^^^ You are a lucky man, Anil. She's a terrific woman. Smart to keep her happy. I'm just glad you guys are staying in Kansas City.

 

^^^ Yes Sir....she is a terrific woman

and about KC....just earlier today her manager gave her an offer (job for both + competitive pay for me + bonus) if we move to denver LOL....

i dont wanna rule out that option but i have started to like KC

 

In this job market, if the offer looks like it could open more doors, I wouldnt hesitate to take it.

 

hahaha yeah thats what we have been debating....i love my company and love working for them but this is a full time opportunity....i would make more $$$ consulting but there i can come home early and play with the kids (in due time)

 

Everyone else - Talk among yourselves

Swoosh - Im assuming youre contracted at the moment? For the past 5.5years Ive gone back and forth between contract work and full time. Im back to full time and dont ever want to change it. When I was contracted, I was making about $4 more per hour then I am now. But being full time, I actually make more in the long run.

The biggest thing, for me, is growth. Does it look like a promotion is possible with the current job? What sort of growth can you have going to the new company? Ill gladly suffer now just to have the chance to do much more in 5 years.

/off topic, sorry Steven

 

 

dude Tyler....i think you have lost the right the say where ANY thread is going....your thread has stood still in time between:



and



LOL

<off topic>
well in my line of work,

full time = full pay...whether slow or quick or overtime....you get whats on your offer letter....(imagine 30/hr pay + 5/hr benefits)
contracting (what i do now) = full pay as well....and no overtime....even if am on the bench (they call it the beach) i get full pay....pays a little more than full time but you gotta travel.....(imagine 35/hr pay + 5/hr benefits)
individual contracting = more pay....you get paid a lot more but no benefits and bench means no pay....but when you are working you get paid overtime + paid more....(imagine 45-50/hr pay + 0/hr benefits)

i used to be an individual consultant a while back and used to make $$$ for 10 months and the other 2 were on the bench without pay, worried, stressed, etc....and now am contracting and kinda break even with the consulting as am making $$$ 12 months....

am still on visa and hence contracting but once i get my GC, individual contracting here I come

</off topic>

 

nice ride do00t....

 

Ahhh, I see. My experiences have been a bit different.

Full time - Im salaried with OT. Unfortunately, that OT isnt based on an 8hr day, its only for hours worked after 40. Ill use Monday-Tuesday of this week as an example. I worked 27hrs straight. None of that was OT Has benefits (health, 401k, etc) and travel mileage.

Contract Work - Paid more, still OT if I work over 40, but no guaranteed hours. No benefits. No travel mileage (unless claimed on taxes,which is a PITA).

 

^^^ so the company you are a full time with, do they contract you out ??? or u just work for the same company....like am a full time with my company but they contract me out to different clients....

 

I saw Swoosh's car today-not much left in there. And more is leaving soon! But it sure looks good.

 

I dont work on a dedicated account, if thats what you mean. My company has service contracts with many companies, so I work on whatever they have in the area. I've been doing it for over 5 years and, aside from the amount of driving involved, I love it.

I can't wait to see it at the Nat'l meet.

 

The red lugnuts are a great accent to the calipers, I really like it.

 

Thanks Danda-the Service Manager at Jay Wolfe Acura didn't like them, but all he has to do is service it!

 

LOL....

some are gonna like it....some are not !!! until you like it, thats all that matters !!!

 

^^ True. I don't like your dead pedal, you should take it off, looks pretty ugly

 

 

I really want to put my car on a healthy diet - just would prefer to have an additional DD which I do not have, yet.

 

^^^ thats what mine is on....protein diet....gonna do some weight loss, make sure the car looks good at the same time and do engine work to make it faster.....

Matt....you bishhhh.....i might have to buy you a dead pedal before you come steal mine :thief:

 

steven, those tail lights look awesome on your tl! when are you getting the body kit? come on! that's the only thing you need to be golden

Base on front, sides and rear type s

 

^^^ Thanks dude-That's exactly what I need.

Base Aspec Kit on the front.

Type S sides and rears.


I would pay someone to make the front lip for me.

 

you can always have that done later.

You could try this for the meantime

 

Nice work Steven and the gang. Ever thought if you redo the calipers to go with G2 caliper paint? I used red on my WRX to match the upgraded calipers I had on the front and it lasted with no chipping or fading. I just did my TL brakes in black and it came out really nice. No clear coat needed at all either. It gets painted on, takes a little time, but the results are amazing.

 

This is EXACTLY what I want!!!!



Thanks Machine! We do need to re-do the calipers. When they were finished, we sprayed Brake Cleaner on the newly painted calipers and some of the paint ran. So the need a respray. G2 sounds like a better fix!

Thank you!

 

No problem, it's about $35, but WELL worth it! Check ebay, that's where I ordered mine and got free shipping too. You will love the end result! You can paint it on or if you have a spray gun you can use that too. Here is a video straight from the company itself:

 

Just a quick cell-phone pic....but this is what yours could look like. A-Spec kit with Base front installed on my Type-S Friday night

 

^^^ That looks beautiful KJ. I'm going to PM you for more details.

 

PM sent
Thats what I want to do in a few months Thankyou

 

Hey Steven, I just made this thread about fitting a base front lip onto the Type-S bumper.

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...1#post13806892

Hopefully yours gets properly A-spec'ed soon!

 

^^^ Congrats on yours Kurt! It looks terrific.

 

Steven, i smell the ASPEC kit is on route....

 

^^^ Very possible, my friend-very possible.

You and I need to also talk about the new side markers too. I sent you a text earlier today.

 

^^^ hey Steve I did not receive any text can you resend ?

 

Well guys-I finally did it!

All of you have after me for 4 years, so I finally pulled the trigger.
And KJ-you helped me decide! Since you were able to successfully install a Base TL Aspec Lip on your Type S, I've ordered the same thing for my Type S. I ordered the front lip and side skirts from Tim at OEM Acura Parts. But he didn't have a rear lip. I found ONE-the only one left (in ASM) in the entire country-at DelRay Acura! It is being shipped today.

So thank you KJ for helping me decide on an Aspec Kit that I will truly enjoy.
